Answer their Questions!

Christianity demands that we have enough compassion to learn the questions of our generation. The trouble with too many of us is that we want to be able to answer these questions instantly, as though we could take a funnel, put it in one ear and pour in the facts, and then go out and regurgitate them and win all the discussions. It cannot be. Answering questing is hard work. Can you answer all the questions? No, but you must try. Begin to listen with compassion. Ask what this man's questions really are and try to answer. And if you don't know the answer, try to go someplace or read and study to find the answer.

--Francis A Schaeffer--

My prayer is that as we are changing our ministry methods, we are making the necessary changes to meet the root needs of the people!

a little bit of what is to come!

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the way of love that not only receives every attack without fighting back but, even more, it actively reaches out to the transgressor to identify with his or her lostness, guilt and condemnation, and to make this its [love] own.



J. Rodman Williams

The point is are you willing to identify with pain of the people who hurt you? In our compassion we must understand that most of the human race is unable to respond to pain in a constructive way so we hurt others because we don't know what else to do! However, if we experience our offenders pain, we begin to know them; and it is at this point where healing can begin.

Pride!

My name is Pride. I am a cheater. – by Beth Moore (Praying God’s word)

 

I cheat you of your God-given destiny…because you demand your own way.

 

I cheat you of contentment…because you “deserve better than this.”

 

I cheat you of knowledge…because you already know it all.

 

I cheat you of holiness…because you refuse to admit when you’re wrong.

 

I cheat you of vision…because you’d rather look in the mirror than out a window.

 

I cheat your of genuine friendship…because nobody’s going to know the real you.

 

I cheat you of love…because real romance demands sacrifice.

 

I cheat you of greatness in heaven…because you refuse to wash another’s feet on earth.

 

I cheat you of God’s glory…because I convince you to seek your own.

 

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

 

You like me because you think I ‘m always looking out for you. Untrue.

 

I’m looking to make a fool of you. God has so much for you, I admit, but don’t worry…

 

If you stick with me. You’ll never know.
